The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing pa
tients can testify. On this point trustworthy
medical writer says "Proper local treatment is
positively necessary to success, but many, If not
most of the remedies in general use by physicians
afford but temporary benefit. A cure certainly
cannot be expected from snuffs, powders, douches
and washes" Ely's Cream Balm is a remedy
which combines the important requisites of quick
action, specific curative power with perfect safe
ty and pleasantness to the patient.

A very large proportion of the work of
collecting and preparing news for a daily
paper a not, from the nature of things,
be performed by women. About half the
persons employed on a city daily paper
are reporters. They are likely to be sent
anywhere and everywhere by the city
editor at any hour of the day or night.
They are obliged to visit places where the
foot of a modest woman should never
tread. They are forced TO familiarize
themselves with crime and criminals.
They must attend horse races, sparring
matches, prize fights, hanging bees"
political conventions and other disrepu-
table gatherings. They must follow en-
gines to fires, run after the police patrol

staggered to the bed and fell across il,
face downwards, scorching tears gather

the room.
KUN out yery' cried a voice,
roughly. II amt a goin' ter git tn bet

The words reached her, but she did not
grasp their meaning. The long strain had
brought its inevitable reaction, and she
had succumbed at last.
.'Git up, thar, I say! No playin'

A sudden familiar sound recalled Sal
Enderby TO a dim sort of consciousness.
Il was a sound that she had learned to
know well during her life in that lawless
region-the click Of q revolver, cooked
for action. Some faint, natural instinct
of self preservation impels her to open her
lips, but no word issues from them.
Twice she essayed to speak. and both
times vainly. Then she shut her lips
again, r~esignedly. Sweetheart! Sweet
heart! That cruel word was the only
one she had not forgotten. She was dead
to fear, to shame, to everything but the
sore agony in her heart.
There was a fash. q sudden, sharp re-
port, a keen, singing sensation in her
left side, piercing through to the beauti-
full white breast! The next moment the
light of a lantern flashed full in her face,
and, lying back, faint unto death, with
something warm and dark trickling
through her gown and staining the white
counterpane, she saw the face Of Red
Ranch Bill, drawn, ghastly, horror
stricken, above her,
SAL he cried. "oh, my God! my
God. Sal.'
The despair In his voice recalled her
from the lethargy into which she was fast
sinking.

she said. softly. ut don't-hurt half ez

Her eyes closed, her lips paled. Bill
sank on his knees, burying his face in
her frosty, draggled skirt. Suddenly,
with a last effort, she raised herself in the
bed and held out the velvet framed pict-
ure.

The Fees Lecturers Receive.

Henry Ward Beecher has received
nor money for lectures than any other
mar on the platform record. He has
been lecturing for forty years, his fees
having increased from $50 to 5000,
and the aggregate amount being estimated
at $3.50. 900. Most Of this money, how.
ever, has been lost. Greeley paid for
Chappaqua by his lectures. Bayard Tay-
lor cleared in the same manner $500 in
One season. Tilton used TO deliver fifty
lectures in a eason at &75 to 500. Josh
Billings had all the engagements he
wanted at 800, and left an estate Of
$4,000, all made after he had passed 40.
Chaplin made $50, 900 by his lectures and
Emerson got rich in the same manner.
Anna Dickinson was at one time worth
$4,000, all made by lectures, but il was
lost through Encouragement. Mark
Twain has made between $25, 900 and

How IL It In Europe.

Pending the discussion of the desira.
bility Of adding dynamite to red hot
stoves and oil lamps as a remedy against
the sufferings and tortures of being first
smashed and then slowly roasted in a
burning car, it might be worth while to
inquire why il is that the effete nations
Of the old world never are under the
necessity Of discussing means Of speedy
death as a relief from the torture Of rail-
way casualties. Is it not somewhat sin
gular that among the played out denizens
Of Europe bridges don't drop when trains
cross them; switches are not misplaced
when a lightning express is due; the pas.
senger coaches never tumble down high
embankments and then catch fire and
roast their mutilated contentsl How do
they do things over there2 II is true
that these people are effete. and worn
out, and passe, while it appears that
there is a point or two where they have
the advantage of us.-Chicago Times.
